Mine only runs that smoothly because I play on the 360. My macbook can only run DAO and DA2 on lowest settings, and my husband's PC cries for mercy at settings other than low. So we're stuck using the 360 until we upgrade the mobo and CPU (and GPU, probably, though the system is more hindered by the 2005 CPU than it is the 2009 graphics card) of my husband's PC (though, I bet it can run NWN really nicely!). Means no mods, though. And being in the dirty, unwashed mass of the console players.
